My 3-year-old Lab mix, Sebastian, started developing severe hives/welts about two hours ago, mainly on his legs. I gave him a warm bath and children's Benadryl, but the welts are spreading and he's scratching more. He hasn't ingested anything unusual, but I sprayed our other dog with chlorhexidine shortly before this happened, and they were wrestling. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 14-year-old dog, Cassidy, has been lethargic for about 2-3 weeks, showing signs of general malaise and fatigue, with increased breathing rate (83-116 breaths per minute at rest) and occasional panting. She has been coughing and seems to be in pain when taking stairs, but still able to get on the sofa. Her appetite, peeing, and bowel movements are normal. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have a 55-pound Goldendoodle named Oakley who is 7 months old. She ate 2 brownies almost 2 hours ago. I gave her 1 1/2 tablespoons of peroxide and then another 1 tablespoon, but she hasn't vomited. What should I do?

My 15-year-old dog, Roxie, has been experiencing diarrhea for a couple of days after switching to a raw food diet, which previously solidified her poops. Now, she is also limping and unable to use her left hind leg. She hasn't eaten anything unusual and was previously diagnosed with possible early-stage kidney disease. What could be causing these issues and what should I do?

My 7-year-old Chihuahua, Peanut, was spayed 5 days ago. She is shaking, whining, and running around fast. Her stitches appear to be coming out. She is not wearing a cone and has been staying under the bed a lot. She was on pain medication (Meloxicam) but it caused diarrhea. What should I do to help her until I can take her to the vet on Tuesday?
